Gas line questions? June 22, 2007, 08:40:19 AM I'm looking at the exhust for my 84 turbo coupe. I was thinking about running it stright back the passenger side, But Those damm fuel lines. Anyone ever move them to the other side of the car? I went to a couple of exhust shops and they wouldn't put the exhust stight back because of the fuel lines. I was thinking about just rotating the pump/sender part in the tank and reroute the lines on the driver side of the car. I would also have to move the external booster pump that my 84 has factory. Does anyone know of a reason that I should run the fuel lines down the dirver side of the car? Just trying to Strighten things out. Why we have fuel lines and Exhust switching from side to side on these Turbo coupes is Weird. The fuel lines go up the passenger side of the car to cross over to driver side for the fuel rail. The the exhust starts on the passenger side and then crossesover to the driver sides because of the fuel lines? The is just messed up. Any input guys/gals? Quote Selected
Gas line questions? Reply #1 – June 22, 2007, 10:17:41 AM My exhaust goes straight back. It ends with a downturn right in front of the rear axle. With the fuel lines on the outside of the rail and the exhaust at least 6" from the inside, there are no problems. I've been running this same "style" exhaust with 3 different TC's for at least the last 6 years.That being said, if I ever re-do the entire fuel system, it's going up the driver's side and the exhaust will stay on the passenger. The crisss-cross thing is stupid. Quote Selected

Gas line questions? Reply #3 – June 22, 2007, 04:02:13 PM Yep. I measure 6.5" from the ler case to the frame rail, and the fuel lines are on the other side of the frame rail. My ler is actually in the factory spot for the driver's side ler on a dual exhaust TC.The factory lers on my old 88TC were even closer as the cases were bigger. Quote Selected
